As the Health Minister and Provincial Health Officer announced in late September, medical mask wearing is required by all health-care workers, volunteers, contractors and visitors in patient care areas of health care facilities province-wide, effective from Oct. 3 and has been implemented at ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake Hospital. Not all areas within a health care facility are patient care areas, or areas that are accessed by patients, residents or clients who are there to receive care or services - such as administrative areas or staff offices. As the signage indicates, individuals may be asked to wear a medical mask if they will be entering a patient care area during their visit to a facility.
